Mystic Station Designs
http://www.mysticstation.com/will be running games at ICON 25 in New York, but, due to a glitch, the games were not listed on ICON's webpages(
http://www.iconsf.org/ ).
Lady Kena has only done readings for the three C&S games. The Traveler games, Miniatures for Beginners and the Joust do not have readings.I have written my interpretation of the cards to the games. I use the Rider Waite version of the Tarot cards. They seem to 'speek' to me more.
